About: Hi, I'm Kimberly! I am a dedicated English student in college, and I specialize in feline care and maintenance, dog drop ins, and house sitting. Since a large portion of my week is spent reading and writing essays, your home and living room couch are my ideal workspaces! Your pets will receive quiet, dedicated companionship ("lap time") and continuous attention and/or playtime while I focus on my schoolwork. I do not travel out of town for major holidays or academic breaks. If you need care during Thanksgiving, winter breaks, or summer vacations, I am fully available if other sitters aren't. My morning schedule is completely wide open, making me the perfect fit for early feeding routines or morning check ins before your workday starts. Thanks to my extensive background working with horses, I am uniquely trained to handle precise, high level animal care routines. I am fully comfortable handling raw food prep, precise measurements, and strict kitchen sanitation guidelines. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members at a routine Meet and Greet! I’m a college student so my classes are the only things I will need to be away from your animal(s) during the week. Other than that I’m willing to dedicate full time to your pet’s care. I always make sure food and water bowls are cleaned regularly, and any outside water is changed throughout the day and temperature checked. I do not allow any animals to stay outside for more than a certain amount of time in the summer due to the dangerous California heat. And I always make sure to bring water with me that your dogs can drink so they stay hydrated on walks. I make sure I know if the dog has any certain habits I need to be aware of, any training the owners are currently doing and if they wish for me to reinforce any commands or not while I am looking after their animals. I make sure to give the animals time to themselves if they need it, otherwise never letting them out of my supervision unless the owner says it’s alright. I always leash dogs when we go out on walks, and bring extra poop bags just in case.
“Zoey did an amazing job taking care of my cat Waffles. Kept me up to date with any issues and took cute photos. Highly recommend Zoey and will be using them again in the future!”

About: Dedicated pet professional with 6 years of experience. Highly skilled in safe medication administration, advanced canine care, and handling dogs of all sizes and breeds. Expert knowledge of brachycephalic health needs, backed by a decade of personal ownership of a Pug. Reliable, attentive, and trusted through years of diverse pet-sitting and walking experience.

Living in a fenced house has made me deeply vigilant. I always double-check gates, secure latches immediately, and watch for sliding doors to ensure zero escape risks.
“Geena is amazing with both our small and big dog. They’re both a little bit rumbustious and she definitely handles them with grace and love. You can really tell she loves dogs and takes her job watching over them very seriously. She’s also trustworthy and i felt very comfortable and safe having her come inside my home and watching our dogs. Im very grateful to have found a dog sitter who my dogs look forward to having come over.”

“Erika is such an amazing sitter! We have a toddler and had to get rid of some of our usual cat toys with long ribbons for safety— Erika brought some from home to help keep our cat entertained while we were gone. We appreciate her so much!!”
About: I grew up in a home where there were always dogs. Our first family pet was a Cocker Spaniel-that’s where my love for animals began. Later, I had my own beloved pets: a Persian cat named Jessica and a pug named Ponchik. I genuinely love animals and understand how important it is to give them not just care, but attention. Jessica taught me patience and how to read a pet’s mood. I spent many happy years with Ponchik-I personally trained him and understand the specific needs of pugs and other brachycephalic breeds. Every animal has its own personality, and I always approach them with respect and care. For me, this is more than just a job-it’s something I truly enjoy. I work remotely for Coca-Cola HBC, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets during the day. Whether it’s weekday cuddles or weekend adventures, I’m here for them! My wife, who also loves animals, is always happy to help out when needed, so your pet will be in a caring, family-style environment. I live in a cozy, spacious apartment within a secure, fenced building where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I also have a car and love taking furry friends to local parks and dog-friendly spots for fun and fresh air.
About: I love animals and have been pet-sitting for friends and family for as long as I can remember. I am excited to help you out and become friends with your dog(s). If you are walking or skating distance (under 5 miles), I can be available regularly AM, afternoon, & PM. Otherwise we will have to schedule 2 days in advance. Thank you! I only offer walks, and pet sitting at your home. This means I will come to your home and have a walking route planned out for your dog, refill fresh water, & food (if needed). If it's cat or cats, I will refill water and food as needed as well. I love animals and Im sure you'll see thay upon meeting the first time. I look forward to helping any way I can.
About: I’m a reliable, attentive, and caring dog walker and sitter who treats every pet like my own. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure dogs feel comfortable, happy, and well-exercised. I’m great with different temperaments, follow instructions closely, and communicate clearly with owners. Whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay, I make sure pets are well cared for and owners feel fully at ease. I work in the restaurant business waiting tables at night. So I’m free during the day whenever someone needs me to walk their dog or come over to let them out. Always on time. Or even a little bit early. Very patient willing to walk dogs and let them out when needed. Non aggressive with the pets

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northridge
Molly was fantastic! We have continually had issues finding someone who is reliable and caring and it seems that has changed. From the first meet and greet Molly was incredibly sweet and caring and we knew the dogs would be in great hands. We were able to spend the day completely stress free knowing the dogs would be in great care. Would 100% recommend and would book Molly again without hesitation. Thanks again!
Sanaz was totally reliable. She sent photos for each visit, cleaned my cats’ many litter boxes, and kept things clean (which I don’t even do). When I came back, the water bowls were clean and full and the automatic feeders were filled. Plus my cats liked her! I think one actually has a crush on her.
Madelyn is very friendly, easy going and attentive. We arranged a meet and greet to confirm she felt comfortable with a large dog. Charlie loved her and appreciated her presence! She provided frequent updates during her check in visits. I would definitely recommend her!
We have rebooked Jill to pet sit for us so many times and I can honestly say every single time has been amazing which is why we will continue to re book her because the care and love she shows our babies tells us she loves what she does. Honestly there are not enough great words to put on here but Jill is fantastic !
Daniela has been coming by on weekdays to let our dogs out while we're at work, and we could not be happier. She gives them real playtime instead of just a quick potty break, always tops off their water, and leaves the house exactly as she found it. Her communication is excellent. We always know when she's arrived and how the visit went, which takes a lot of worry off our minds during the workday. Our dogs clearly adore her. If you need someone reliable and genuinely good with animals, we recommend her without hesitation.
Haley once again took amazing care of our girls! My husband and I feel incredibly fortunate that we found such a kind and caring sitter in Haley. The girls love her and even our older cat (who can be pretty aloof/distant with others outside of our family) has enjoyed playing with her. Do not hesitate in hiring Haley--she's a gem!
Kylie did a wonderful job in caring for our dogs while I was unable to during surgery. She provided top quality care to our senior dogs and most especially to my daughter’s dog, Koda. During the time we were away, Koda was struggling with eating and standing on his own. Every morning, Kylie would help him to relieve himself and would also spoon feed him so he could eat. With her kindness, Koda was able to be strong enough to wait for my daughter to come home. Kylie was truly exceptional and is an amazing caretaker for animals.
Annabella was amazing caring for our little senior dog in our home while we were away. Our dog needs medication and prescription food from the freezer so not the most easy client but Annabella managed it all perfectly. She even took our cans to the curb and kept or kitchen orchid perfectly watered!
Emily is fantastic! She completed her drop ins at the time scheduled and sent lots of pictures. You could tell my cats were super happy with having her there. Even my super scaredy-cat warmed up to her while I was away my schedule is just all over the place and she was so accommodating to last-minute changes as well which I really appreciate.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Northridge is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $49 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 16,251 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Northridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northridge. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
